What’s Up in The Lounge – December 30

I hope everyone had a great holiday week, I know Sean enjoyed all the coal Santa brought him.

We had a pair of awesome Topps Baseball releases 2015 Topps Strata and Bowman’s Best, Here’s a few highlights of our breaks of both of them.

Our “Max Contract” High-End Basketball Mixer break finally went off and it did not disappoint…THREE Andrew Wiggins Rookie Autos! Can you imagine? Buying one spot and getting a hit of a lifetime 3 TIMES?! Congrats to Alex C. We also hit the rookie of that Michael Jordan guy among others. We frequently put up mixer breaks and they always seem to yield some crazy stuff. I would highly recommend grabbing a spot whenever you see one up.

You guys know I’m a shameless homer so there is no question that this RIDICULOUS Jack Eichel Exquisite Patch is my favorite hit (of the year?). Considering Eichel will not be signing autos with Upper Deck this is without question one of his biggest cards available now. Also, the 1/5 “jersey number” aspect is just the icing on the cake.

See ya’ll next year!
